What Is Facial Esthetics?
After a root canal, a prepared tooth may exhibit discoloration. Endodontic facial esthetics treatment involves internal bleaching to clear this discoloration and restore the tooth's attractive appearance.

Procedures Offered
Internal Bleaching
While traditional tooth whitening uses a peroxide bleach compound to brighten teeth from the outside, internal bleaching involves placing the bleaching agent inside the tooth. This treatment is only available if the tooth has undergone a root canal.
The internal bleaching process is comfortable and non-invasive. The endodontist drills a small hole in the back of the tooth and removes debris. The doctor places bleach crystals inside the tooth and applies a temporary filling. The bleaching process generally takes about one to two weeks, with the patient returning to have the crystals removed and the tooth permanently filled. This procedure may be repeated until the desired result is achieved.
Occasionally, internal bleaching does not remove all traces of staining. In this case, the endodontist may recommend visiting your restorative dentist for a new crown that matches the surrounding teeth.
